Looking forward to it, Cheers! :) I also start with the middle ground because that's where my main point of interest will be (usually). When that's looking good to me, I can see what's needed for the background and add that. Then enough of something in the foreground to lead the eye into the image. When it comes to displaying a sense of depth, Mike's gallery is a must-visit. He promised us a tutorial some long while back, but... ;)
